Displacement creates urgent practical problems—where to sleep tonight, how to access services, what documentation you need. The Health and Social Development Displaced Persons Unit exists for people in exactly that situation. Whether you've lost housing through fire, flood, eviction, or other crisis, this office handles emergency placement, temporary shelter coordination, and connection to social grants. Randburg's rapid growth and informal settlement pressures mean displacement happens more often than most residents realise. This unit works to move people from immediate crisis into stable temporary arrangements while longer-term solutions are pursued. They coordinate with provincial welfare systems, manage documentation for grant applications, and liaise with NGOs providing emergency support. The work is procedural and sometimes slow, but getting it right determines whether someone spends the next months safe or vulnerable. Coming here means access to a system designed specifically for people in upheaval.
